JK"6. O-'t HICE GIRLS." BY A. BACHELOR. To my mind, there ia nothing in all the woVld half so beautiful, half so delightful; or half to love&ble as "nice.girU"".- I don't mean a pfet'ly irl, or a dashing girl, or an elegant girl, but a "''nice girl; on of those lovely, good-tempered, - good-hearted, tweet-faced, neat, natty, amiable, "domestic creatures, whom we meet in a sphere of 44 Home," diffusing aroand the domestic hearth,. tb influence of ter goodness, like the essence "of sweet flowers. Wbat wall know by a "nice girl" is not the languishing beauty, who dwadles on a sofa and alks of the last new novel, or the last now opera; "or the great giraffe-looking girl, who creates an "effect by sweeping majestically through a drawing room. The "nice girl does not even dance well, orplay wellr and she does not know a bit iow to usa her eyes or coquette with a fan. She "never languishes, she is too active for that; she is act givea to novel reading, for she is always too bosy. And at the opera, when she goes there "sbe does '6'6t tbink it necessary to show ber bare Shoulders: but sTtS teneraHy away in tl e back f th box, unheeded and unnoticed. It is not in aach scenes Hat e discover the "nice girl." It Is at "home.'' Who is it that rises first in the 'morning and gets breakfast ready before the : Yamily comes down? Who is It'tHikt makes papa's toast, and c&Yries p mama's tea, and pats bat- : ons 6nlh'e boys' shirts, and waters. the flowers, t knd feeds the chickens, and makes everything bright and comfortable I'd tie parlor?

I maintain that a neatly foot ed foot and a well shaped ant4e, ln conjunction with a clean, white petticoat, and a tight stocking, will nearly make amends for a squint. Young men, ti it not so? Tea, you confess it . ; I say again, there is nothing in be world half so beantiial, half80 intrinsically good, as a "nice girl" She is the sweetest flower in the path of life. There are cithers far mora si&Xely', far mora gorgeous; but these we merely. adnura as we go by. Jt is where the daisy goes that we lie down to rest. . , .. . Under every condition, every aspect, I admire -ray, that is too cold a word 5 love the "nice girl I" Under every condition, every aspect, save one that one is the condition of matrimony. When I hear that one of the "njcegtrla" of my acquaintance is about to be married sabout to be monopolized by some jealous beast with whiskers, and an agly Bister who is to be brides' maid, I become faint and sick at heart. Where "nice girls" dwell, it should be written up, as on gates of choice gardens, "do not pick the flow. rs." Xh, it is horrid, horrid, to see that spruce gentleman come in and take her away into a corner for the rest of the evening. I may not waltz with her now; I may not catch her at blind man's on!?; "I may uot ait by ller and turn over the leaves as she sings "AuM &obin Gray," even though it were Christmas time; 1 may no more kiss her under the misletoe; I may not look at her! There is that borrid, spruce man with whiskers, glowering at me as if he would eat me. I sigh as the remembrance comes over me of the many "nice girls" who have thus been torn ruthlessly from me by epruce, and, 1 am sure, stirpid men in whiskers. Why are there such things as spruce men with whiskers? I am sure we should get on much better, without them. I cannot bear to think of a "nice girP getting married. I cannot contemplate with patience wVat suets aoout to become. What i? she about to become? . She is about to become the slave of one j5ao. In less than year her figure will be etefnaf.y "spoiled. In less than a year she will rea'r sioppy dresses and wrappers of a morning. She will leave off garters, and her stockings will hang loose'.; Ste will lose the bloom in her cheek and f'lie merry twinkle in her eye. She will have a baby, and smell sour. I say I cannot contemplate this epVctacta with patience. I once Visited cne", Who had been a "nice eirl.r a year or two after her marriage. Tne fgnre which she presented shocked roe. I could have cried with veation and I am sure if her husband had come in, 1 sIliouM nave .kicked- him. I have resolved never to go through such an ordeal again; hen a "nice sftl" marries now, I have done with her forevef. You may wonder why, since I am such an admirer of "nice girls," 1 have never ma2Vona my own why, in fact, I have never married one. I loved, admired and adopted them, Yob 'mp'ch for that. I could no more marry a "nice girV than I could willfully trample down a bed of flowers'. I have all my life considered it, abd do siin con-eider it, a crime, little short of sacrilege, to mar. ry a "nice girl." Who but a savage would de lace a beautiful piece '. of sculpture? Who, but a wretch, would stand to the fire and monopolize all the heat? To the man who attempts to marry a "nice girl," I say as Diagones said lo Alexander, "Get oat of my son." Marry a "nice girl I" Neverl I know what it would be. No man is a hero to his valet de chambre, and no husband, I am sure, is 'a fine fellow in his wife's eyes after she has mended his socks and put patches on bis drawers. On the other hand, I am certain there mast be a horrid disenchantment about a skimp flannel petticoat, and a cotton night cap with frills. Noj let the "nice girl" alone. Let her be the life and sunshine of "Home forever. Let as many hearta pine away and die for her as will; I am ready td pine and die with the rest. But, oh, change not Miss into Mrs J rob her not of her girlishnesa and simplicityi pollute not the gushing fountain of her love, which flows for all and falls lika dew upon the world. Letter be a "nice girl" forever; for such as she never grows Old, oV lose the power to 'charm. If yon masi mairry, marry the beauty the flirt th clever girl the dashing girl any kind of girl, but leave me; oh, leau me the "nice girl. Foj her Sake, 1 will lira a bachelor to the end of my days; and when I die, I desire nothing better thai to have such a one close my eyes. CIRCASSIABT GIRLS; The following fine description of Circassian maidens, is roth Ilickies' interesting Life of Schayml, recently published Jby a Boston bouse. Notwithstanding the modest freedom ot manners which prevail among them previous to mafriagej they become extremely coy afterwards. They are abt, however, leas attentive to their personal appearance, and the failing of their maidenly beauty is concealed aa much possible by av tention to Srapefy. : Though femalbS are bought and sold ia CircaKIa, there is no pari of the world whefh they are the object cf Ctra tliect. ful chivalrous treaimettt. 1 ? .f; , The bride of Schayml must fcave tcsa iniie her countrywomea generally, if ili was not handsome..

Beneath this their hair Tails, down their shoulders is braides, which, are con4ned at the end by a ailrer cord, or are tied like the tresses of the Cossack giri, with.; bright ribfcons that nearly sweep the ground. Sometimes also, tHese plaits are gracefully confined in a silken network. : Over the shift is worn jacket of some gay color, and confined in front by silver clasps; or it may be aimply a leather corset joined together by stitches A skirl open ia front, and confined around the waist by a scarf er girdle, falls sufficiently short of the . ankles, to .show, the wide Turkish t row-sere which are tied above them Close fitting morocco slippers cover the feet, which being kept as scrupulously clean as those of the Hindoo women, if not like theirs ornamented with rings, are indoors frequently left bare; while out of the house, a kind of wooden dogs are. worn to avoid, dirt. The' slippers sire suffidentfy. coquettish, being made of red or jjreen moreceo and of a site only to admit the foot, in part with small heels and dainty pointed toes slightly pointed up. - - . ' The hands, which as well as the feet are small, have the fihger nails dyed with the juice of the Cowers of balsanna, and are protected in the open air by mittens. The natural .colore of the face, however, are not generally heightened by the pen cil, althoogh the Circassian fair are partial lo the b"rfgnteat tints of their apparel, being thereto in-vited by the gorgeous lights of a landscape filled with a multitude of flowers', and in which the very rocks and snows barn morning and evening with hues scarcely less brilliant and variegated, t The Circassian - rmaYd Ui said to ,tave in her veins some of the blood of Vhe Amazons who anciently bore the phareta, and followed hunting in these mountains. Her style of dress and measured gait together Vith their snaring the martial sentiment of the society ia which she lives, give her still something of .the part of Diana, and make her fit to be the warrior's bride. But at the same time she is not lacking in the feminine graces. Dressed in brocade or silk, the Circassian girl is represented by travelers as never awkward, and never failing to assume spontaneously the most easy, and natural as well as the most dignified attitudes. Her manners have but little of the excessive reserve afterwards; adopted when she becomes a wife. But so long as she is in the market for a husband, she allows herself to be seen freely by all men whether wishing or not to become purchasers. . She goes abroad unveiled, dances with the other sex; min gles fearlessly, though without effrontery, among the groups of men; kisses the hand of the stran ger before herself on the divan by his side; and though truly modest and decorous in her deport ment, aha yields her cheek almost without a blush to the lips of the warrior who, returning from the slaughter of the enemy, feels entitled to claim those favors which in less fortunate lands can only be stolen by swains the most dex. terous, and whose stars aid them The Circassian girls are sparingly nourished, savs an ancient writer living mostly on milk, bread of millet and pastry. Delicate in her food 'as she is neat in her dress, growing up in the healthy air of the mountains, living in a society of simple tastes aha natural habits, always treat eu wiw g&i.aui couriesy oy a race oi men whose hearts are mostly moved by a love of war and o'f beauty, it is not etrange thai nature should have preserved through, so many generations some lainjj if the type of loveliness which in modern time hasmade the Circassian bead to be regarded ;bjr civilised man as the truest image of his Maker. . -. .. ' . A Daring Outrage. , Ada aring outrage was committea about 9 o'clock on Monday evening upon a young lady about 1& years old', ; daughter of James A. Prid-ham, residing on South Orange avenue. As she was entering the gate a t her father's residence, she was 'seized by four young rowdies who had concealed themselves in the yard, and who dragged her down the street, preventing any outcry. In her sWnggles to escape from them her clothing was nearly torn from Eer, her jewelry was stolen, and an attempt was made to inflict a gross outrage upon her person. The ruffians were, however, alarmed, and fled without accomplish ing their object, leaving the girl exhausted and helpless upon the ground.. Prompt measures were immediately taken to detect the offenders, and two persons, supposed to be implicated in the affair, were arrested, one of them at, the de. pot. . They were committed to answer. The girl was dragged a distance of some 600 feet from the house before the villians released their hold. Among the persons arrested on suspicion is an old offender named Thomas Arenner, On going to his house the ofiicers were denied admittance by his mother, who told them "that Thomas was gone away." They however demanded entrance, and on reaching the kitchen, the old lady poin ted to the table and said, ."There, yon can see for yourselves, Tom hasn't been home." The Chief, however, was etill unsatisfied and - examined a closet under the stairs, where he found the prisoner snngly hid away beneath, a feather bed.-This outrage lias excited much indignation, and a universal wish is desired to have the offenders detected and severely punished, not only as si penalty for heir owd mideeds, but as a warning to others.'; Mr, Pridham will " give it reward of $200 for the detectloft and conviction, of the vil- - ., . : -.- Xladacascar. .

The effect of this was to attract aumben of missionaries to the island, and In 182S, two years before his death, Radama had the satis-faction of seeing some five thousand Madagasse children taught in the missidnary schools. The French have evfr since 814 proclaimed the in. depenieoee of Madagascar, and have constantly endeavored 'to augment their - strength in that vicinity, to prevent, if possible, the prevalence of British power. At present there is much talk of both French and English projected expeditions thither, with a view .oa the part of each to secure the commercial interests of the island, which is believed to be extremely fertile, and capable of producing a great variety of grain, 'and is also known o possess considerable mineral wealth. ' . The French have just made the small island of St. Marie, on the eastern coast or Madagascar, one of their naval stations. Their other possessions in the neighborhood are the islands of Reunion, one hundred and fifty leagues from Madagascar, of Nossi Be, Mayotte,Kossi-Cum-ba. Nossi. Fale, and surroundinsr islets.

A further exami nation showed that the room had been thorough ly ransacked, and the township fund's, amoun ting to $2,336 68 in gold taken.

JK"6. O-'t HICE GIRLS." BY A. BACHELOR. To my mind, there ia nothing in all the woVld half so beautiful, half so delightful; or half to love&ble as "nice.girU"".- I don't mean a pfet'ly irl, or a dashing girl, or an elegant girl, but a "''nice girl; on of those lovely, good-tempered, - good-hearted, tweet-faced, neat, natty, amiable, "domestic creatures, whom we meet in a sphere of 44 Home," diffusing aroand the domestic hearth,. tb influence of ter goodness, like the essence "of sweet flowers. Wbat wall know by a "nice girl" is not the languishing beauty, who dwadles on a sofa and alks of the last new novel, or the last now opera; "or the great giraffe-looking girl, who creates an "effect by sweeping majestically through a drawing room. The "nice girl does not even dance well, orplay wellr and she does not know a bit iow to usa her eyes or coquette with a fan. She "never languishes, she is too active for that; she is act givea to novel reading, for she is always too bosy. And at the opera, when she goes there "sbe does '6'6t tbink it necessary to show ber bare Shoulders: but sTtS teneraHy away in tl e back f th box, unheeded and unnoticed. It is not in aach scenes Hat e discover the "nice girl." It Is at "home.'' Who is it that rises first in the 'morning and gets breakfast ready before the : Yamily comes down? Who is It'tHikt makes papa's toast, and c&Yries p mama's tea, and pats bat- : ons 6nlh'e boys' shirts, and waters. the flowers, t knd feeds the chickens, and makes everything bright and comfortable I'd tie parlor?

She is qaite 4t home in all the domestia da ties, fehe trodtrds no one to "help thi kettle.4 Sh bt fetched ft from the bob, and replenished the le&pot, whde some one bes been thinking aboat offering his assistance. Breakfast oVer, she aires 4own InW the kitchen to see about dinner; and all day long she is running ap and down stairs, always doing, and ktways cheerfal and light-hearted.

I maintain that a neatly foot ed foot and a well shaped ant4e, ln conjunction with a clean, white petticoat, and a tight stocking, will nearly make amends for a squint. Young men, ti it not so? Tea, you confess it . ; I say again, there is nothing in be world half so beantiial, half80 intrinsically good, as a "nice girl" She is the sweetest flower in the path of life. There are cithers far mora si&Xely', far mora gorgeous; but these we merely. adnura as we go by. Jt is where the daisy goes that we lie down to rest. . , .. . Under every condition, every aspect, I admire -ray, that is too cold a word 5 love the "nice girl I" Under every condition, every aspect, save one that one is the condition of matrimony. When I hear that one of the "njcegtrla" of my acquaintance is about to be married sabout to be monopolized by some jealous beast with whiskers, and an agly Bister who is to be brides' maid, I become faint and sick at heart. Where "nice girls" dwell, it should be written up, as on gates of choice gardens, "do not pick the flow. rs." Xh, it is horrid, horrid, to see that spruce gentleman come in and take her away into a corner for the rest of the evening. I may not waltz with her now; I may not catch her at blind man's on!?; "I may uot ait by ller and turn over the leaves as she sings "AuM &obin Gray," even though it were Christmas time; 1 may no more kiss her under the misletoe; I may not look at her! There is that borrid, spruce man with whiskers, glowering at me as if he would eat me. I sigh as the remembrance comes over me of the many "nice girls" who have thus been torn ruthlessly from me by epruce, and, 1 am sure, stirpid men in whiskers. Why are there such things as spruce men with whiskers? I am sure we should get on much better, without them. I cannot bear to think of a "nice girP getting married. I cannot contemplate with patience wVat suets aoout to become. What i? she about to become? . She is about to become the slave of one j5ao. In less than year her figure will be etefnaf.y "spoiled. In less than a year she will rea'r sioppy dresses and wrappers of a morning. She will leave off garters, and her stockings will hang loose'.; Ste will lose the bloom in her cheek and f'lie merry twinkle in her eye. She will have a baby, and smell sour. I say I cannot contemplate this epVctacta with patience. I once Visited cne", Who had been a "nice eirl.r a year or two after her marriage. Tne fgnre which she presented shocked roe. I could have cried with veation and I am sure if her husband had come in, 1 sIliouM nave .kicked- him. I have resolved never to go through such an ordeal again; hen a "nice sftl" marries now, I have done with her forevef. You may wonder why, since I am such an admirer of "nice girls," 1 have never ma2Vona my own why, in fact, I have never married one. I loved, admired and adopted them, Yob 'mp'ch for that. I could no more marry a "nice girV than I could willfully trample down a bed of flowers'. I have all my life considered it, abd do siin con-eider it, a crime, little short of sacrilege, to mar. ry a "nice girl." Who but a savage would de lace a beautiful piece '. of sculpture? Who, but a wretch, would stand to the fire and monopolize all the heat? To the man who attempts to marry a "nice girl," I say as Diagones said lo Alexander, "Get oat of my son." Marry a "nice girl I" Neverl I know what it would be. No man is a hero to his valet de chambre, and no husband, I am sure, is 'a fine fellow in his wife's eyes after she has mended his socks and put patches on bis drawers. On the other hand, I am certain there mast be a horrid disenchantment about a skimp flannel petticoat, and a cotton night cap with frills. Noj let the "nice girl" alone. Let her be the life and sunshine of "Home forever. Let as many hearta pine away and die for her as will; I am ready td pine and die with the rest. But, oh, change not Miss into Mrs J rob her not of her girlishnesa and simplicityi pollute not the gushing fountain of her love, which flows for all and falls lika dew upon the world. Letter be a "nice girl" forever; for such as she never grows Old, oV lose the power to 'charm. If yon masi mairry, marry the beauty the flirt th clever girl the dashing girl any kind of girl, but leave me; oh, leau me the "nice girl. Foj her Sake, 1 will lira a bachelor to the end of my days; and when I die, I desire nothing better thai to have such a one close my eyes. CIRCASSIABT GIRLS; The following fine description of Circassian maidens, is roth Ilickies' interesting Life of Schayml, recently published Jby a Boston bouse. Notwithstanding the modest freedom ot manners which prevail among them previous to mafriagej they become extremely coy afterwards. They are abt, however, leas attentive to their personal appearance, and the failing of their maidenly beauty is concealed aa much possible by av tention to Srapefy. : Though femalbS are bought and sold ia CircaKIa, there is no pari of the world whefh they are the object cf Ctra tliect. ful chivalrous treaimettt. 1 ? .f; , The bride of Schayml must fcave tcsa iniie her countrywomea generally, if ili was not handsome..

Beneath this their hair Tails, down their shoulders is braides, which, are con4ned at the end by a ailrer cord, or are tied like the tresses of the Cossack giri, with.; bright ribfcons that nearly sweep the ground. Sometimes also, tHese plaits are gracefully confined in a silken network. : Over the shift is worn jacket of some gay color, and confined in front by silver clasps; or it may be aimply a leather corset joined together by stitches A skirl open ia front, and confined around the waist by a scarf er girdle, falls sufficiently short of the . ankles, to .show, the wide Turkish t row-sere which are tied above them Close fitting morocco slippers cover the feet, which being kept as scrupulously clean as those of the Hindoo women, if not like theirs ornamented with rings, are indoors frequently left bare; while out of the house, a kind of wooden dogs are. worn to avoid, dirt. The' slippers sire suffidentfy. coquettish, being made of red or jjreen moreceo and of a site only to admit the foot, in part with small heels and dainty pointed toes slightly pointed up. - - . ' The hands, which as well as the feet are small, have the fihger nails dyed with the juice of the Cowers of balsanna, and are protected in the open air by mittens. The natural .colore of the face, however, are not generally heightened by the pen cil, althoogh the Circassian fair are partial lo the b"rfgnteat tints of their apparel, being thereto in-vited by the gorgeous lights of a landscape filled with a multitude of flowers', and in which the very rocks and snows barn morning and evening with hues scarcely less brilliant and variegated, t The Circassian - rmaYd Ui said to ,tave in her veins some of the blood of Vhe Amazons who anciently bore the phareta, and followed hunting in these mountains. Her style of dress and measured gait together Vith their snaring the martial sentiment of the society ia which she lives, give her still something of .the part of Diana, and make her fit to be the warrior's bride. But at the same time she is not lacking in the feminine graces. Dressed in brocade or silk, the Circassian girl is represented by travelers as never awkward, and never failing to assume spontaneously the most easy, and natural as well as the most dignified attitudes. Her manners have but little of the excessive reserve afterwards; adopted when she becomes a wife. But so long as she is in the market for a husband, she allows herself to be seen freely by all men whether wishing or not to become purchasers. . She goes abroad unveiled, dances with the other sex; min gles fearlessly, though without effrontery, among the groups of men; kisses the hand of the stran ger before herself on the divan by his side; and though truly modest and decorous in her deport ment, aha yields her cheek almost without a blush to the lips of the warrior who, returning from the slaughter of the enemy, feels entitled to claim those favors which in less fortunate lands can only be stolen by swains the most dex. terous, and whose stars aid them The Circassian girls are sparingly nourished, savs an ancient writer living mostly on milk, bread of millet and pastry.

As she was entering the gate a t her father's residence, she was 'seized by four young rowdies who had concealed themselves in the yard, and who dragged her down the street, preventing any outcry. In her sWnggles to escape from them her clothing was nearly torn from Eer, her jewelry was stolen, and an attempt was made to inflict a gross outrage upon her person. The ruffians were, however, alarmed, and fled without accomplish ing their object, leaving the girl exhausted and helpless upon the ground.. Prompt measures were immediately taken to detect the offenders, and two persons, supposed to be implicated in the affair, were arrested, one of them at, the de. pot. . They were committed to answer. The girl was dragged a distance of some 600 feet from the house before the villians released their hold. Among the persons arrested on suspicion is an old offender named Thomas Arenner, On going to his house the ofiicers were denied admittance by his mother, who told them "that Thomas was gone away." They however demanded entrance, and on reaching the kitchen, the old lady poin ted to the table and said, ."There, yon can see for yourselves, Tom hasn't been home." The Chief, however, was etill unsatisfied and - examined a closet under the stairs, where he found the prisoner snngly hid away beneath, a feather bed.-This outrage lias excited much indignation, and a universal wish is desired to have the offenders detected and severely punished, not only as si penalty for heir owd mideeds, but as a warning to others.'; Mr, Pridham will " give it reward of $200 for the detectloft and conviction, of the vil- - ., . : -.- Xladacascar. .

The effect of this was to attract aumben of missionaries to the island, and In 182S, two years before his death, Radama had the satis-faction of seeing some five thousand Madagasse children taught in the missidnary schools. The French have evfr since 814 proclaimed the in. depenieoee of Madagascar, and have constantly endeavored 'to augment their - strength in that vicinity, to prevent, if possible, the prevalence of British power. At present there is much talk of both French and English projected expeditions thither, with a view .oa the part of each to secure the commercial interests of the island, which is believed to be extremely fertile, and capable of producing a great variety of grain, 'and is also known o possess considerable mineral wealth. ' . The French have just made the small island of St. Marie, on the eastern coast or Madagascar, one of their naval stations. Their other possessions in the neighborhood are the islands of Reunion, one hundred and fifty leagues from Madagascar, of Nossi Be, Mayotte,Kossi-Cum-ba. Nossi. Fale, and surroundinsr islets.
